An 89-Year-Old Seamstress' 7 Rules for Fleece Tights (No Other Brand Follows #7)
2 min read
In 1946, a small-town seamstress named Irazia sewed fleece inside her last pair of nylons so she could wear a dress to the winter dance.
She made them until her last winter in 2006, at 89, with seven rules for every pair. Most fleece tights still break them.
#1 It has to match her skin.
Most fleece tights come in one or two beige shades. These come in four: light, tan, bronze and deep.
The fleece underneath matches your skin, so from across the room it reads as bare legs under sheer black.
#2 Real fleece.
Turn them inside out. Thick, soft fleece from waist to ankle.
It's moisture-wicking, so you're not clammy once you're indoors. And the feet are left unlined, so your boots still fit.
#3 They can't fall down at the dance.
A high compression waistband that stays put. No tugging them up all night.
#4 No lines through the dress.
Most fleece tights have a U-shaped seam that gives you diaper butt.
These have one seam front and back, so they lift instead.
#5 Fit every woman in town.
XXS to 5XL. Stretch that glides right over your thighs.
Fits up to a 40-inch inseam, so the waistband reaches your waist, even if you're tall.
#6 Last all winter.
Anti-pill fabric, so they don't pill after a few washes.
#7 Every woman leaves happy.
